Grand Theft Auto 6 Will Not Be Affected By Potential Actors Strike, Take-Two Suggests

The actor who played Michael De Santa in Grand Theft Auto 5 got swatted while live-streaming online, with fans blaming game developer Rockstar Games.

The latest trend of leaks and speculation online regarding Rockstar Games is their next Grand Theft Auto installment. This video game franchise has had a massive following over the years, but a new installment has been absent for years. Since 2013, fans have been playing with Grand Theft Auto V while waiting for the studio to drop Grand Theft Auto VI. We know the game is in the works; even a trailer is planned for early December. However, a new leak for Grand Theft Auto V has fans talking about some of the past projects Rockstar Games was apparently working on, such as a Bully sequel. 

Grand Theft Auto V never got a proper story expansion, and it definitely seems like some sort of story DLC was indeed planned, judging from a recent discovery.

Grand Theft Auto 6 has yet to be officially revealed, but some dedicated fans put together an early map of the game based on the leaked clips that surfaced online, which suggests that it will be triple the size of the map featured in the previous entry in the series.

There is a ton of hype built up around Grand Theft Auto VI. The video game installment was leaked online last year, and that alone caused fans to speculate endlessly on just when we’ll see the game launch. Those leaked clips were early builds, so at the very least, it showed that Rockstar Games was making some progress into the next installment. However, it was just this month that the confirmation came. Rockstar Games will be ready to share the first Grand Theft Auto VI trailer to the public this coming month. With fans just weeks away before we get our first taste of what’s next in this franchise behemoth, new rumors turn toward who might return.

From The Last of Us and God of War to Mario and The Legend of Zelda (to name just a few), there has been no shortage of major gaming properties that are being adapted as TV shows or movies. And at a time where it feels like it’s only a matter of time before most major gaming franchises get snapped up for similar adaptations, it’s only natural to wonder when we’ll be seeing a Grand Theft Auto film.

Two of the biggest bits of videogame news to come along this week were Nintendo's announcement of a live-action Zelda movie, and Rockstar's promise of a proper Grand Theft Auto 6 reveal in December. That might naturally lead your wandering thoughts to wonder when Take-Two Interactive will get around to making the Grand Theft Auto-based Hollywood blockbuster that's such an obvious, almost obligatory, project. 

Rockstar Games is preparing to reveal the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 in early December (perhaps at The Game Awards on December 7th). Despite leaks and reports of scaling down, there’s plenty of hype for the open-world title, rumored to release in 2025. Publisher Take-Two Interactive isn’t setting expectations, though.

The torturously long wait for Grand Theft Auto 6 is entering is final stretch now. With Rockstar Games having officially confirmed that it will be debuting the first trailer for the title in early December, the end is finally in sight for those who have been waiting for the series’ next instalment for over a decade. But of course, a question that many are still asking is- when exactly will the game come out?

Strauss Zelnick, the CEO of Rockstar Games’ parent company, Take-Two Interactive, has claimed that in the event of a video game actors’ strike, the upcoming Grand Theft Auto game (unofficially known as GTA 6) would be «completely protected.» 

Rockstar Games could unveil Grand Theft Auto VI this week, according to a report from Bloomberg.

Rockstar Games head Sam Houser confirmed today that the next Grand Theft Auto video game will be introduced in a trailer coming December.
